<br></div></div><div>Mostly true, however there is an optional native part, found in the "[tomcat-root]/bin/commons-daemon-native.tar.gz" file. If you're creating a Tomcat binary RPM it would be a good idea to compile this, as it allows you to have Tomcat listen on port 80/443 (or a port <1024) directly without running Tomcat as root. You don't need this if you're running Tomcat behind Apache HTTP, but for example WebRTC won't work proxying through ajp.</div>
